Research context & evidence
Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.
Cathepsin D (CTSD) is an acid-active lysosomal aspartic protease involved in intracellular protein breakdown. The precursor is proteolytically processed to mature light and heavy chains, and the enzyme contributes to lysosomal proteolysis and protein turnover.
CTSD/cathepsin D is studied in lysosomal biology, proteostasis, protein processing, neurobiology and cancer-related cellular processes. Select ABMIUM reagents by species, sample type, assay format, application and product-level validation.
